Chapter 9 8. Haunted Castle
The support of brothers and sisters is really awesome! I think there must be many great gods, and this meeting is a bit dumbfounded. How can a book without a recommendation place have such data? ! In addition, I would like to ask for recommendation tickets and collections. In the evening, there will be the third update today, fulfilling the promise, thank you for your support! ****
The gate of the castle is a wooden gate assembled with long wooden boards, like a fence, about five or six meters high and ten meters wide, tattered, tied with a large iron chain, and the iron chain is buckled. Wearing a simple black iron lock.
Wang Bo took out the keys. The key ring was like a rattle, and there were probably forty or fifty keys on it. The biggest key was the same as a chicken leg, so it was naturally the door key.
He thought the rusty iron lock was difficult to open, but he turned the lock without any difficulty after inserting the key. Charlie explained to him: "Actually, this castle has only been closed for less than half a month. But it has been living in it."
Wang Bo opened the door and said with a smile, "Someone just died there, are you afraid?"
Charlie sneered, "I've seen more dead people than you've ever seen living people..."
Having said that, he fell silent, probably even he himself was ashamed of the bragging.
From the outside, the castle is very majestic, although it is old, it has residual power. But after entering, you can find that the castle is already dirty, chaotic and dilapidated:
After entering through the gate, there is an inner wall that is lower than the outer wall, and an alley is formed between the two walls. After crossing the door on the inner wall, you can enter the castle. On both sides of the inner door, there are small houses similar to the guard room and the messenger room. The door is facing a small square, which is covered with weeds, and there is only a half of the statue left in the middle.
There are several trees and houses on the east and west sides of the square. The trees are tall but withered, and the houses are of different heights and have unknown uses. Charlie introduced to him that this is a barn, this is a bakery, that is an auditorium, and that is a church. He knows a lot about it. But because these houses are too dilapidated, there is no use for them at all.
The only thing that can be seen is a huge building on the front of the small square. It is the main stone building of the castle. It is a full 40 meters high, magnificent and majestic, as immovable as a mountain!
With admiration, Wang Bo pushed open the door. He was just about to go in when he heard a vague sentence in English.
"What?" Wang Bo turned around and asked without hearing clearly, "Charlie, what did you say?"
Charlie was still struggling to drag his bag and asked, "What did you say? I didn't say anything."
Wang Bo frowned and said, "You didn't say anything? I seemed to hear someone talking just now."
Charlie said angrily: "You want to scare me? Get out of the way, put down your things and rest..."
He pushed Wang Bo away and walked in first, and went straight up the stairs, while Wang Bo opened the door and windows in the hall to breathe. This hall is almost like a small square, and Lao Wang thinks that in the future, he can organize people to dance square dances.
The first floor of the main castle of the castle is the tallest and widest. The first floor may be ten meters high. It is not like a residence, but like a domestic government office building. There are three stairs leading to the second floor, with spiral stone stairs on both sides, and a straight staircase in the middle of the hall, which is divided into four relaxation floors, with extraordinary momentum!
Just when Charlie had just walked up to the second floor, his figure suddenly froze for a moment, and then slowly turned his head to look at Wang Bo with a frightened expression.
"What's wrong?" Wang Bo asked with his heart shrinking.
Charlie said with a trembling voice, "Just now, did you hear the phrase 'Who's here'? The tone is weird?"
Wang Bo swallowed his saliva and said: "I didn't hear clearly, what the hell, Charlie, don't tease me, you can't hear something, right?"
He didn't hear that sentence clearly just now, he felt it was a short sentence vaguely, and thought it was the sound of the wind or the door opening. But now hearing what Charlie said, he felt that he might have heard it right just now, because he felt that the vague tone was really weird, just like foreigners speaking Chinese, which was very awkward.
Just at this time, the sunset was setting in the west, and the dim twilight barely shone into the castle building, and the atmosphere became a little deserted and gloomy. As the mountain wind blew, the windows that Wang Bo just opened swayed and made a "creaking" sound, which gradually brought a strange atmosphere to the castle.
Charlie seemed less courageous than Wang Bo. He ran down with his luggage and asked, "Are we really going to live here? Brother, someone just died here."
Wang Bodao: "Didn't you say that you have seen more dead people than I have seen?"
Charlie said in a low voice: "However, there are quite a few people who died here! It's been a century and a half. In the heyday of the Roberts family, there were more than 200 people. They all died here. How many people do you count?"
Seeing that this guy looked like he was about to go to hell, Wang Bo became bolder instead. He patted Charlie on the shoulder and said, "Okay buddy, let's stay here. The helicopter is going back. We didn't buy a tent, and we didn't sleep in it." Where do you sleep here? Besides, maybe you just misheard just now, anyway, there is no need to be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world, haha."
Although Charlie was timid, he was stubborn. Hearing what Wang Bo said, he sneered and said, "Who's scared? I'm afraid you're afraid! OK, since you're not afraid, let's stay here—you go first, we'll go Live on the second floor, there are guest rooms on the second floor."
Wang Bo looked at him amusedly, and asked, "What about the first floor?"
"The first floor is the meeting room, playroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom and dining room. Whose castle do you think has bedrooms and guest rooms on the first floor?" Charlie said angrily.
The castle as a whole is made of stone, which looks rough and firm. The staircase is also made of stone, but it is polished very smooth. It can be seen that the Roberts family put a lot of thought into building this castle.
Turning the stairs, there are houses. Wang Bo tried the key to open the two nearest rooms. The water and electricity can be used inside, but there are only floors, wooden beds, tables and chairs, and nothing else. The style is so simple that it is almost rudimentary.
However, the sanitation of these two houses is good. Charlie said that this is because the British government and the New Zealand government mourners lived here when Sir Roberts died. It is less than a week now, and the sanitation is of course good. .
Wang Bo asked Charlie to choose one first, and then lived in the remaining one by himself. He patted and cleaned the bed board with dirty clothes, then spread the bedding, put down fruit, food and other daily necessities, and the prototype of the bedroom came out immediately.
Although this bedroom is very simple, but because of his own reasons, Wang Bo still feels good, better than those luxury apartments he rented in BJ.
The dinner was prepared by the two of them together. Charlie was a member of the New Zealand funeral team, so he was quite familiar with the castle. He found the kitchen on the first floor and threw away the old pots and spatulas and replaced them with the new kitchen utensils bought today. Wang Bo came to cook.
There is no natural gas in the castle, so cooking has to be done in an electric frying pan. Wang Bo first boiled a pack of macaroni pasta, cooled it in cold water, and then fried it with bibimbap sauce, carrots, onions, and diced ham.
He left his hometown to go to school in other places since junior high school. He has been a cook for more than ten years. Although he can't cook any big meals, he is very good at home-cooked dishes. A few cucumber sticks, then this dish is full of color, flavor and taste.
In addition, he made a thick soup with tomatoes, cucumbers and eggs. This is very simple, just chop the tomatoes as much as possible, cut the cucumbers into cubes, stir-fry chopped green onions and beat eggs to make soup.
Charlie's eyes lit up immediately after taking a bite of the noodles. He sucked the noodles into his mouth and said with a thumbs up, "Beautiful, your cooking skills are much more beautiful than your looks!"
Wang Bo smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but the angle of your compliment is quite novel. I really want to praise you by covering your face with this bowl of soup!"
A simple dinner ended in the chatting and laughing of the two, Wang Bo finally said sincerely: "Charlie, thank you very much for your help in the past few days, our conditions are not good today, I will make a big meal in the future Thank you for the meal."
Charlie waved his hand indifferently and said: "You are too polite, Wang, first of all, this is my job, and it is taken for granted. Secondly, didn't I say it, the two of us hit it off right away."
That being said, Wang Bo still felt that he owed others favors. Charlie really had nothing to say to him. For example, seeing that Wang Bo's mobile phone could not access the Internet, he even gave Wang Bo his IPAD to use.
After watching a movie, Wang Bo lay on the window and watched the bright moonlight for a while, and then lay on the bed ready to sleep.
He has a small problem, that is, neurasthenia, which is also an occupational disease of many code farmers. He sleeps very lightly and wakes up when there is a little noise. In addition, he slept in a new bed tonight, so it was even more difficult to sleep soundly.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Wang Bo suddenly heard a vague voice: "Hungry, hungry, hungry... who's here, who's here, who's here..."
The sound of this voice is very awkward, just like what Charlie said on the stairs, the tone is weird, if you want to use an analogy, the tone is similar to that of foreigners speaking Chinese, very stiff.
After hearing the voice clearly, Wang Bo woke up suddenly, his adrenaline was secreted rapidly, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
Lying on the bed, he didn't dare to get up directly, but listened carefully first. Maybe he was just hallucinating?
Concentrated and holding his breath, Wang Bo just pricked up his ears, but his door suddenly made a loud 'bang bang bang'!
**** Interact with me, may I ask the reason why the castle is haunted, can everyone guess it? I think there should be many people who can guess what's going on.
